February 28, 1987

A man was found stabbed to death inside his mobile home near southwest Fort Lauderdale on Thursday.

The body of Thomas King, 58, was discovered by a friend about 11 p.m. Thursday in his home in the Lazy Land Mobile Home Park in the 4100 block of Southwest 25th Street, Broward sheriff`s spokesman Jim Leljedal said.

An autopsy on Friday confirmed that King died as a result of the stabbing, Leljedal said.

Thomas lived alone in the mobile home, Leljedal said. It was unclear how long King had been dead, Leljedal said.

Investigators declined to release information about how many times King was stabbed or a possible motive for the killing.
